Chamber 11

Well, it’s official. Sarah is my own personal corrupter. It was bound to happen eventually.
Quite a few things going on these days. Of course I’m still working on all kinds of projects for the new years party. I keep coming up with crazy ideas to try and make happen. And amazingly, we’ve been finding ways to make everything happen.
Usually when we’re building and planning these insane parties, I come up with these “Wouldn’t it be cool if…” ideas that end up being too big for our budgets and/or skill set. This time around, though, everything I’ve come up with, we’ve been able to put into practice. It’s kind of amazing.
I finally got a check from the insurance company. They’re giving me a little more than half of the value of the stolen items. Infuriating. There’s another two grand I’m “eligible” for if I can prove that what they’ve given me isn’t enough to replace the items. Which, in actuality, is just more arbitrary hoops to jump through just to make things difficult on me. I might not get around to shopping for everything until January. Maybe there will be some after Christmas sales and I’ll be able to make the money stretch further.
Sarah came over Friday and Saturday night for more drinks and movies. Friday night we ate at Gandolfos, then tackled two bottles of wine and watched Stingray Sam. All three of those things sound fantastic to me right now…
Saturday night she came over later in the evening. I was out of mix-ins for our drinks, so she decided it would be a good idea to do shots. So… that’s what we did. It was just supposed to be a quiet Saturday movie night, and a half hour later we’re both giggling our little faces off. We watched The Long Kiss Goodnight, and other random TV shows. Talked a lot about the party. She’s painting a big mural-like space scene for me. I’m sure it’ll be rad.
I’ve got quite a bit of Christmas shopping left to do. It’s only just starting to stress me out. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow… or Tuesday.
Todd is coming into town tomorrow night. It’ll be good to see him again. I want to borrow American Astronaut from Sarah and make Todd watch it with me. I’ve got a feeling he may like it.
I think that about does it. End of the year is rapidly approaching. Time to look back, and plan ahead.
Things just keep changing.
Goodnight Moon.
Dream On.
